Chapter 409

As soon as Caroline spoke, she glanced at Kirk, whose expression had turned frosty.

However, she didn’t feel scared at all. Instead, she felt a sense of retribution.

But that feeling left as soon as it came, and she soon realized that the atmosphere was off. She looked at Adrian awkwardly.

Adrian was still looking at her, stunned. He probably hadn’t expected her to say yes.

The scariest thing was the sudden silence in the room. Caroline’s cheeks were slightly warm as she lowered her head to drink the beef stew.

The atmosphere between the three of them became more and more tense.

After finishing their meal, Caroline put down her spoon and found an excuse to return to her room.

Adrian had no desire to stick around any longer, so he got up and walked toward the door.

Just as he turned the doorknob, he heard Kirk’s deep voice behind him. “You’re a Sorkin, right?”

Adrian looked back at Kirk in confusion. However, Kirk had already turned around and walked to the kitchen after packing the dishes.

Everything had happened so fast that Adrian thought it was just an illusion.

Kirk threw the takeout boxes into the trash. When he came out of the kitchen, Adrian had already left.

He took a breath and headed to Caroline’s room. At the door, he said, “I’m leaving, darling.”

He didn’t get a response. Kirk was silent for a moment, then turned and left.

After leaving Caroline’s home, he took out his phone and called Charles. “Find a way to get the Sorkins‘ second son out of the country.‘

When Caroline woke up the next day, the embarrassing moment from yesterday’s meal still ›layed in her mind.

she crawled out of bed dejectedly. She needed to find something to occupy herself with so her But what could she do?

Caroline held her chin in thought.

The company was still waiting for the first batch of products to be completed and for Sonia’s webseries to be released. So she wasn’t busy with anything at the moment.

Caroline’s mind was running at full speed, and soon she thought of something.

Gwen still hadn’t found a witness to prove her innocence, right?

It was good that she was free during this time. She could leave the country to avoid Kirk. Thinking of this, she immediately called Gwen and proposed she go back to Macovo.

Gwen asked, “Are you going there alone, Carol?”

Caroline replied, “I mean, I have nothing else to do anyway!”

“That isn’t nice.”

Gwen said anxiously on the other end of the phone, “This obviously concerns me, but you won’t even take me with you!”

Caroline smiled at her words. She said, “I’m afraid you’ll get horrific flashbacks of what happened.”

“No way. Let’s make this a bonding trip and have fun together!”

Caroline nodded. “Okay, I’ll buy the tickets.”

The two took action as soon as possible and set off to Macovo on the third day. Caroline and Gwen took a cab to the airport to prevent Kirk from finding out about their trip.

On the way to the airport, Gwen looked back at the trunk several times. She asked, “Carol, why did you bring so much luggage?”

There were three large suitcases and two smaller ones. The cab driver had even asked them if they were immigrating.

Caroline smiled mysteriously. “You’ll know when the time comes.”

More than an hour later, they arrived at the airport. The cab driver helped carry the suitcases out of the car and asked, “Do you need me to help you check those suitcases in?”I’ll help out these ladies”
